Japanese YouTuber Fatally Stabbed During Livestream in Tokyo

Airi Sato, 22, was attacked by a man over a financial dispute while livestreaming near Takadanobaba Station.

Kenji Takano, 42, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder and later sent to prosecutors.
The attack occurred during a livestream on the WhoWatch app, with viewers hearing Sato's screams before the feed went black.
Takano allegedly stabbed Sato over 30 times with a survival knife, claiming she owed him over ¥2 million (approximately $13,000).
Police reports indicate Takano tracked Sato's location through her livestream and claimed he wanted the public to know about their financial dispute.
Violent crimes are rare in Japan, but the incident highlights a rise in high-profile knife attacks in recent years.
